Doug Benson is best known for his comedic documentary, ‘Super High Me’ and has also appeared on NBC’s ‘Last Comic Standing’ and VH1′s ‘Best Week Ever’.

His second “Comedy Central Presents…” half-hour special premiered in January ’09. He had the nerve to hit on Jennifer Aniston on the classic sitcom Friends, is a character on “The Sarah Silverman Program,” and oops, almost forgot, got Larry David in a headlock on HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” If that’s not enough for you, he’s a creator/writer/star of “The Marijuana-Logues,” a show that’s been a hit (small pun intended) in clubs and theatres from Los Angeles to New York – and drew a bongload of rave reviews.

Portland Open Studios offers a unique and inspiring form of experiential education: interacting with local artists at work within the context of their studios. All around metro Portland in an annual tour of studios, visitors can see up-cycled wearable fashion, watch molten glass or fine porcelain stretch into a vessel, imagine a landscape moments before it is painted, peer through layers of silk-screened band posters, and much more.

Art lovers of all ages and walks of life can discover new materials, learn about ancient techniques, and share the wonders of creativity with friends and family. Have you always been curious about what moves an artist to work in the way that they do? Read the rest of this entry »

Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall
1111 SW Broadway

An infectious mixture of styles and musical experiences! Haydn’s Symphony No. 60 is a light, witty work composed to accompany a deliciously comic play.

Kodaly’s piece is a wildly fun, Hungarian gypsy-inspired set of exuberant dances as he reminisced about his childhood. And then there’s the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1—a massive, monumental work.

Oregon Symphony President Elaine Calder today announced the cancellation of pianist Yefim Bronfman, due to an inner ear infection that prevents him from travelling.  Bronfman was scheduled to perform the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1 on October 8 & 10.

“While we are disappointed by Mr. Bronfman’s understandable need to cancel, we are delighted to welcome Natasha Paremski back to our stage,” she said.

The brilliant young pianist made her debut with the Symphony last season in a performance of Prokofiev’s Piano Concert No. 1 for which the Oregonian critic praised her “youthful power and incisiveness.”  She recently performed the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1 on a European tour with the Tonkünstler Orchestra and will arrive in time to enjoy a full rehearsal schedule with the orchestra.

Virtuoso Brazilian guitarist, percussionist, multi-instrumentalist and composer Celso Machado transports his audiences through the richness and diversity of Brazilian music and beyond. We’re thrilled to bring him back to Portland for a second rare performance at Portland’s historic Old Church.

“Celso alone is a force of nature … Up close, Celso Machado is probably the most musical person I know. He performs, composes, publishes, records, teaches, and makes music out of literally everything he touches. Read the rest of this entry »
